Ground Beetle

Many ground beetles overwinter as adults, waking in the spring to mate, lay eggs, lie on their backs, and die. I didn't notice the pincers (not sure if that's what they are called) until I looked through the macro lens. I saw that the pincers retreated into the body, and then out again, at regular intervals. I checked on it a little later, and the in-and-out motion had really slowed down, and then it eventually stopped. It was quite fascinating to watch.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
